Wound Care

We assist with various types of wounds, including diabetic neuropathic ulcers, arterial ulcers, and venous ulcers, addressing their specific needs for effective healing. Our doctors utilize advanced treatment options such as debridement, state-of-the-art wound care products, and infection control to promote recovery. If you’re dealing with a non-healing wound, SoCal Sports Podiatry is here to help you find the right solution for your condition.

Types of Wounds We Can Assist With

Diabetic Neuropathic Ulcer
These develop from loss of sensation in the feet, typically under weight bearing areas that may begin as a callous or corn.

Arterial Ulcer
Develop due to poor circulation in the feet, typically on the tips of the toes and lower legs, and can be very painful.

Venous Ulcer
Venous ulcers can develop due to compromised veins causing blood to flow only one way that can lead to excessive swelling in the legs, typically found on the ankle.

Decubitus Pressure Ulcer
These appear after prolonged periods of bed rest due to chronic illness or extended hospital stays.

Non-Healing Post-Operative Wounds
Although a rare postoperative complication, postoperative infections may develop causing wound dehiscence.

Chronic Osteomyelitis
This is a bone infection typically caused by bacteria.

Burn Wounds
Type of injury to the skin typically caused by heat from hot liquids, solids or fire.
